Hemmings Cruise-In

Feature Article from Hemmings Motor News

In its nearly 50 years of publication, Hemmings Motor News has always deeply embraced the people who share our passion about cars. This summer, we're kicking it up a notch, as Emeril would say, by making our house your house with our new, biweekly Hemmings' Cruise-Ins.

Every other Wednesday through late September, you are cordially invited to bring your precious pride and joy to our headquarters in Bennington, Vermont, and mingle with your fellow car lovers. Restored, original, antique, Classic, muscle cars, trucks, rod, custom, or whatever else you love, you are all welcome. We've got tunes to spin, trophies to award and great gearhead conversation.
The Cruise-Ins routinely draw upwards of 100 cars, and we recognize greatness:

Trophies are presented for the Publisher's Choice, Editor's Choice, Favorite Mopar, Favorite GM, Favorite Ford, Favorite Muscle Car, Favorite Truck, Coolest Street Rod, Best Paint and Best Engine Bay.
D.J. Rich Ryder serves up the songs and trivia along with free Hemmings' T-shirts to the trivia contest winners. And speaking of serving, there's good food, cooked on-site.
Hemmings' Cruise-Ins run from six to nine p.m. on August 13 and 27, and September 10 and 24, in the parking lot behind the Hemmings' Sunoco Filling Station at 216 Main St. in Bennington. We're located about 35 miles northeast of Albany, New York; just follow New York Route 7 to Vermont Route 9. The Hemmings' car collection will also be open throughout the evening, as well as the Hemmings' gift shop; so come on out and party with us!
